Overview & Reviews

After nearly a decade out of the sport coupe spotlight, Lexus returns with a compelling entry. Since its debut of the SC coupe in 1992, Lexus has largely been overlooked by shoppers who wanted avant-garde styling, sports car performance and luxurious appointments. And it has never before offered a convertible roof. They need look no further. The new SC 430 delivers all that in spades.

• Luxurious comfort and convenience features, avant-garde styling, wonderful engine performance, retractable hard-top, Lexus quality.

• Sparse cargo space, cramped (nearly useless) rear seats.

  Mostly positives, a few negatives - 2002 Lexus SC 430
  By carl lee - March 11 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a silver w/ black interior. I have about 1000 mi on it. The negatives are the cup holder is to shallow and drinks can spill out or tip over on turns. I here a metal on metal clink when I go over speed bumps from under the car, dealer said they will fix but thay have not as of yet. Run flat tires are stiff and all road imperfections are transmited to driver and so you feel every bump, pot hole. Otherwise I love the car and am happy I bought it. Very comfortable/

  FROM: tntjackson "A toyota is a toyota is a toyota. Im not fooled here." I WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT YOUNG MAN. DONT YOU DARE LISTEN TO HIM. HE IS WRONG. THE SC430 IS BY FAR THE BEST CAR LEXUS HAS EVER MADE. IT SHARES THE LEGENDARY LEXUS VALUE AND RELIABILITY, WHILE SPORTING AVANT GARDE LOOKS AND POWER.

  Had this car for 12 years, trouble free, fun. Best car we have ever had. Moving to snow country, not practical, so with sadness, it must go!

  My Perspective - 2002 Lexus SC 430
  By frozenSC - November 13 - 2:23 pm

  Overall a wonderful car! Sleek styling and Lexus quality to match. Obviously its nothing more than a two-seater as the back seats arent good for much beyond the briefcase or a bag of groceries. Performance comes alive in the midrange... dont look for fast acceleration off the line but others will soon fear you at about 40mph+

  Purchased used in Dallas. 3 after market chrome wheels out of round. Dealer is reimbursing my cost of repair. Higher fuel usage than my ES 300. Very comfortable interior Smooth, quiet ride. Integrity of this car is perfect.

  By bill scheu - August 8 - 2:00 am

  this car does everything well. i know that it will be around for a long time and the relialibility is what makes me want to never look at another jag. the dealer treatmet will keep me from another sl. mb treats you like they did you a favor taking your money. it amazes me that jag and mb still do not get it ! i gusee they will loose all their market share before they give a decent rent a car during service bill

  The Fun Car - 2002 Lexus SC 430
  By Zoe Fleming - July 31 - 10:00 am

  We splurged and bought this car. We absolutely love everything about it. Yeah it is small but in this case small is best. It draws compliments everywhere we go. A dream to drive, fun to handle with wonderful features. Get one and you will never want to part with it.
